“What fun it is to generalize in the privacy of a note book. It is as I imagine waltzing on ice might be. A great delicious sweep in one direction, taking you your full strength, and then with no trouble at all, an equally delicious sweep in the opposite direction. My note book does not help me think, but it eases my crabbed heart.” ThinkingHeartDoeBookHelpingMightFunImagineTroubleOppositesNotesIceEaseHelp MePrivacyDeliciousOne DirectionJournalingNote Book Author:Florida Scott-Maxwell
“Diplomacy in a sense is the opposite of writing. You have to disperse yourself so much: the lady who comes in crying because shes had a fight with the secretary; exports and imports; students in trouble; thumbtacks for the embassy.” WritingFightingTroubleCryStudentsOppositesSecretaryDiplomacyImportsEmbassy Author:Carlos Fuentes

“In motherhood, where seemingly opposite realities can be simultaneously true, the role of nurturer invariably conflicts with the role of socializer.

“Many young people today do not concern themselves with style. They think that what one says should be said simply and that is all. For me, style - which does not exclude simplicity, quite the opposite - is above all a way of saying three or four things in one. There is the simple sentence, with its immediate meaning, and then at the same time, below this immediate meaning, other meanings are organized. If one is not capable of giving language this plurality of meaning, then it is not worth the trouble to write.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayGivingShouldWritingDoeSaidTodayYoungThreeLanguageSimpleFourTroubleStyleCapableConcernOppositesSimplicitySentencesOrganized Book:Sartre in the Seventies: Interviews and Essays Source: Sartre in the Seventies: Interviews and Essays

To have faith in a foundation you have discovered in life and which, though it is difficult to describe even to yourself, you refuse to relinquish.” SeemsDifficultRiskTroubleOppositesFoundationConstantDareRefusePrioritiesHave FaithChamberPersonal Experiences Author:David Whyte
